The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking was a song released as a single by Roger Waters from the album of the same name. It was not a hit. Its meaning consists of the lasting memories of the main character, Reg, and displays the benefits and problems associated with his hitch hiking, figurativly and metaphorically. During the song, Waters mentions such popular icons as Dick Tracy, Shane, and Yoko Ono. The lyrics have been criticised as somewhat sexist towards women,(Waters negative feelings toward Yoko Ono) though these lyrics are often misinterpreted.
